You know what? I'm willing to empirically test this as many times as it takes to reach statistical certainty about any conclusions we reach

Some people are hoping that sanity will prevail and that Trump will be removed or at least neutered. I'm more pragmatic. I'm hoping he takes a permanent vacation next to his ex-wife.

Jack Daniel's owner says that removing his products from shelves is worse than tariffs. Yes. Yes. It is. But guess what? Tariffs are worse than no tariffs. This is like a guy punching you in the stomach and complaining that you punch him in the face.
